"You mean, start now?"
"Obviously, escape is a process. Even if we are fully prepared, it is impossible for everyone to board the escape spacecraft and leave the Southern Alpha Galaxy at the same time."
Yu Hongxing was taken aback for a moment, then nodded, and said: "Even with adequate preparations, and starting in all places at the same time, it will take at least ten years. Of course, this is the result of the most ideal situation. If there is an accident. , And there are bound to be accidents. For example, not everyone is willing to leave their homes, and not everyone will follow our instructions, so it actually takes more time."
"how long it takes?"
"Fifteen years, maybe 20 years. These are just estimates and may not be accurate. Of course, we have formulated plans for every possible situation. Although our goal is to save everyone, our ultimate goal is to Human civilization has been preserved. If the situation is out of control, we can only give up some people." Yu Hongxing exhaled and said, "This is no way."
"So, how long will it take to be fully prepared?"
"long time."
Yang Yi was taken aback for a moment, but did not ask further, waiting for Yu Hongxing to continue.
"According to the original plan, we need at least 50 years to complete the preliminary preparations, and all our work is carried out according to this plan. But now, it is obviously impossible. We have not been able to obtain the help of the extreme race, nor Able to travel to the central area. It is impossible to complete the preparations within 50 years just by relying on the resources in the North Fourth Area. Because most of the star system has been occupied by the enemy, and many planets have been destroyed, so even the current situation It’s worse than previously expected.” Yu Hongxing paused for a while before saying, “According to our current estimation, and under ideal circumstances, for example, if we recover the star systems occupied by the enemy in time, then we still It takes about two hundred years. If the situation becomes worse, for example, if we fail to regain those star systems in time, making it difficult to restore the environment of too many planets in a short period of time, then the time we need will be difficult to estimate. Simply put, I don’t know. How long will it take to complete, maybe hundreds of years, maybe thousands of years."
Yang Yi nodded thoughtfully, his expression very solemn.
Yu Hongxing sighed again, but did not continue, he had already said clearly enough.
"Obviously, we don’t have to wait any longer, that is, we don’t have to wait until all the preparations are in place before starting to act. As you said, you don’t know how much time will be needed to complete the preparations, and we obviously can’t waste time on this. ."
"But… "
"You have already said that our ultimate goal is to preserve human civilization, not to save everyone. We don't have that ability either."
Yu Hongxing sighed with a wry smile, and shook his head, his expression very distressed.
"If we start now, when will we be able to build the first fugitive spacecraft and let this fugitive spacecraft carry our people out of the Southern Alpha Galaxy?"
"soon."
"How fast?"
Yu Hongxing hesitated for a while, and then said: "Although we have a lot of information from the Second Age, including the technology for building fugitive spacecraft, in the past few thousand years, we have never built such a huge, Such a complicated spacecraft, so after making a decision, we not only set out to organize the information, but also began to build the first fugitive spacecraft, mainly to understand the possible troubles in the construction process through practical operations, and to train skilled workers. To lay the foundation for large-scale construction in the future. This spacecraft is in our base camp and is about to be completed. Therefore, it can be used at any time as long as it is needed."
"So, I have to go over and take a look."
Yu Hongxing did not object, after all, he couldn't control where Yang Yi wanted to go.
However, Yang Yi did not do it himself, but after leaving the Federation Star, Yu Hongxing opened a space channel on his behalf.
Of course, it is not difficult to go to the base camp of Yujia.
Although it didn't take long to leave, the base camp of the Yu Family became almost unknown to Yang Yi. Don't forget, before killing King Mingyan and looking for the Kunyang clan's holy artifacts, Yang Yi returned once and went to the base camp of the Yu family, where he arranged tasks for Yu Minghui and others.
Now, this place is a huge factory, or an industrial area.
Of course, the most conspicuous are not the scattered factories, but the spaceports that have been expanded dozens of times in size. Because this is just a space debris, there are not too many resources, so all the materials needed by the factory need to be obtained from the outside world, and they have to be sent back by the spacecraft.
Obviously, the size of the spaceport is determined by the industrial productivity here.
In addition, the number of people living and working here is dozens of times as many as when Yang Yi arrived last time, and most of them are workers recruited from outside by the Yu family.
The fugitive spacecraft was not in the spaceport and could not be docked, mainly because it was too big.
When Yu Hongxing and Yang Yi arrived, Yu Minghui also rushed over with a few key persons in charge of the Yu family.
During this period of time, Yu Minghui has been staying here to organize production work, and has hardly left, and even handed over the affairs of the federal authorities to others to handle.
The fugitive spacecraft is indeed extremely huge, looking like an asteroid from a distance, and it is even more shocking when it approaches.
In fact, this is an asteroid.
According to Yu Hongxing's introduction, they used the technology of the second era, but did not fully adopt it, but adjusted it according to the actual situation. Simply put, the main body of this fugitive spacecraft is an iron asteroid. After the capture, Yujia’s engineers first melted all the meteorite iron inside through high temperature, and rebuilt it in accordance with the spacecraft’s structure, thus saving a lot of resources and time. The next thing to do is actually to install various equipment and facilities inside the spacecraft, so that the spacecraft has almost permanent navigation capabilities. The key is the large-scale primary energy converter that provides energy and the ecosystem that maintains the environment, and these are also the two most difficult projects.
"According to the agreement, the Arctic Race will provide the technology for building large-scale primary energy converters, as well as related engineering personnel. Before this, some Arctic Race engineers have come here to help us complete the preliminary work, that is, the spacecraft. Redesigned the power cabin. It’s just that after the route was cut off, it’s already difficult for us to get support from the Extreme Clan, at most we can only get some technical assistance.” Yu Hongxing paused for a while, then said, “Of course. This problem is not serious, we have found a solution. Simply put, it is to use the sacred artifacts as the core component, and then use the technical support of the extreme race to manufacture equipment that stores and utilizes the original energy. Before this, we have completed it. The previous acceptance test proved that the sacred instrument can push the fugitive spacecraft to the speed of light."
Yang Yi was taken aback for a moment, and said: "The problem is that the sacred artifacts are valuable only in the star system. After leaving the star system, the sacred artifacts may not work properly."
"We have considered this issue."
"Yes?"
Yu Hongxing nodded and said: "The solution is also very simple. It is to make the fugitive spacecraft reach the speed of light before leaving the Southern Alpha Galaxy, then turn off the sacred vessels and let the spacecraft navigate by inertia. Of course, maintaining the ecosystem requires energy, and The way we thought of was to use fusion nuclear energy. To this end, we have begun to collect raw materials for fusion nuclear energy and have solved almost all related problems."
"So, there are other questions?"
"In fact, the biggest problem is the ecosystem." Yu Hongxing sighed before saying, "Although we have obtained the information of the second era, we also know that the ecosystem created by the scientists of the second era can indeed operate tens of thousands. However, according to the technology we have now, we can only replicate a similar ecosystem system at most. In other words, we can guarantee that the ecosystem system will continue to work for 10,000 years, but we cannot guarantee that it will work longer. We have done some Test, but there are still many problems that have not been solved. Judging from the current situation, the only way to solve this problem is to build a larger fugitive spacecraft with the industrial facilities and raw materials necessary for manufacturing the ecosystem. Therefore, on the way to escape, replace those damaged and aging parts with newly manufactured parts. The problem is that due to the limitation of industrial capacity, it is impossible for us to build a larger escape spacecraft, so we thought of transforming the planet, that is, at the planetary level. The inside of the celestial body creates a completely enclosed world with a suitable environment."
"and then?"
"Of course, the biggest problem with transforming the escaped planet is that we have not yet been able to accelerate a planetary-level celestial body to the speed of light in the Southern Alpha Galaxy. Although we have already thought of some methods, such as using more sacred artifacts, there are still Many problems have not been resolved, and the methods we thought of have not been tested. In other words, whether it will work is still uncertain."
Yang Yichang exhaled and said, "Where is this spacecraft?"
"The basic construction has been completed. All that is needed is to install the resources needed for escape, such as fusion nuclear materials, and a variety of renewable materials. Of course, we also need to carry fugitives. As long as there is a need, we can be within a month Complete all preparations."
"Then, get ready."
Yu Hongxing was taken aback for a moment, then looked at Yu Minghui next to him.
"Now?"
"Yes, now." Yang Yi nodded and said, "These materials are not a problem, you can solve it. The key is the fugitives. You are solely responsible for this matter. I have no clear requirements. Just make sure that if these people are Fortunately, they reached a certain star system and survived there. They have enough ability to rebuild human civilization, and have enough ability to develop and grow in their new homeland."
"This… "
"Of course, they need a commander."
Yu Minghui was taken aback for a moment, and then he noticed that Yang Yi was staring at him.
